On Sunday, January 10, 2010, former Wiltonian, Mike Pressler, was inducted into the Connecticut Lacrosse Hall of Fame for his outstanding lifetime achievements and contributions in the world of sports..
Mike began his illustrious career as a member of the Class of '78 at Wilton High School, where he was a 1st Team All-State linebacker in Football and achieved All-Amercian honors as an Attackman in Lacrosse.
After graduating from Wilton HS, Mike took his athletic and leadership prowess to Washington & Lee University, where he was a four year starter and All American football player earning team MVP honors, and a three year starter in lacrosse, graduating in 1982.
Completing his college education, Mike channeled his athletic experience to coaching college lacrosse with successful stints at Hampton-Sydney, VMI, ARMY, and Ohio Wesleyan University, where he led the team to the national finals three times in the late 80's, earning Division III honor of Coach of the Year in 1987. From Ohio Wesleyan, Mike climbed from the ranks of Division III to Division I and accepted a position at Duke University as their Head Coach. Under his coaching, the team held a firm position year in and year out as a nationally ranked lacrosse powerhouse. It was during Mike's tenure as Duke's Head Coach, that the team and University was thrust into the national spotlight when players were wrongfully charged and eventually cleared of charges.
Mike is now Head Coach of the Bryant University Lacrosse Team, located in Rhode Island. In the three years since taking this position, Mike has successfully brought the Bryant University Bulldogs Lacrosse program from Division II status to Division I, competing with the likes of the nationally ranked programs: University of Virginia, North Carolina and Army.
Presenting MIke to the CT Hall of Fame was his former, legendary Wilton High School Lacrosse Coach, Guy Whitten, who in his own right, enjoys the regard of many as "The Godfather" of Connecticut High School Lacrosse. In his remarks as presenter of this most prestigious award, Mr. Whitten said that he was "pleased and proud" to bestow the honor, as the two have been friends for 37+ years. Coach Whitten also noted that as an athlete and coach, "Mike's motor is always running with a high Lacrosse IQ " and that he is "a genuine leader".
On behalf of all Wilton Warriors past and present, the Wilton Lacrosse Association extends a heartfelt congratulations to our native son Mike Pressler for his induction to the Connecticut Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
